And, this year his display will be even bigger and better, having moved to a bigger house giving him even more space for the display.

John Berry's home, includes around 8,000 lights, handmade Christmas Trees and a seven and half foot Snowman.

John moved to the area with his wife Michelle, and children Lukas, aged 9, Leanne, 13, Abbygale, 14, Hayley-Sue, 15 and 17-year-old Warren, three months ago, and since then has been searching for festive ideas.

He said: “We always turn the lights on on the 30th, but this year that is my daughters 16th birthday, so we will invite everyone to come see them on December 1 for the big reveal. It’s to start getting everyone in the Christmas spirit. Christmas is 100 per cent my favourite holiday, it’s about passing the cheer on.

“With all the stabbings that have happened in Sheffield recently I wanted to give people something to smile about.”

John has been busy creating items for the display, recycling scraps of wood and MDF and turning them into the festive scene.

Everything - apart from the lights - has been made by hand

He added: ”We’ve got 4,000 lights so far, but there will be around 8,000 when it is done. Last year we only had around 3,000 up, because it was a small house so I couldn’t do much.

“People have helped out by passing me screws and bits of wire, but I’ve built it all myself. I will also be making a 6ft Santa which I’ll get started this weekend. It’s actually got a Paper mache head that I had last year and I’ll be building the body.

John Berry says he wants to bring the festive cheer to the people of Sheffield

“The ten Christmas trees have also all been made from scraps of wood. Cost wise, it’s just using stuff out of skips, I’ve got a friend who works in construction, so its about recycling.

“I want to show people that you don’t need to be a multimillionaire to do things like this.”
